It seems like a fairly logical extension of the tcsh rmstar variable. The one concern I would have with it is that unlike the rmstar variable, it would always run even if the rm command is run in a script. What do you think of adding a flag to enable this behavior so users could make rm an alias that uses the flag? That would keep it from effecting scripts. -- Brooks
